I have the same problem, I wrote a bunch of emails and even called them but each time I ended up discussing with Jenny. Unfortunately she's not very knowledgeable/helpful.

It's a complete kit, calipers included - MK2 version I guess - so no trimming needed. I used to track my old GT86 with powder coated OEM calipers, decent street&track rotors/pads/fluid/lines. That setup was decent in terms of performance (enough for 2-3 hot laps @2 minutes each), but the paint...

I just got delivery of the k-system kit few days back :oops: I guess I'll give it a try and sell it if I'm not happy with it. Happy to see this option on the market, excellent value!!

I did some digging regarding the k-system kit (Clio RS callipers)... You mentioned "Smaller pads than OEM (pad material surface area)", but it does not seem to be case: - pad type: 07.B314.21 is ~122x49mm - pad type: PFC: 0929 (OEM) is ~115x48mm Basically, the pad surface area is ~8% larger on...

So I was missing something :)) All clear now and I fully agree on consumables, thanks for clarifications! I'll post here about the fitment (with the 3 wheels I mentioned) for various options I'm checking on now (Essex AP, Reyland AP, Megane RS and CSG), in case it helps.

As I mentioned, I'm not even sure the kit for GR will be delivered with 8-hole rotors, since in the same photo on the product page there is 1 rotor with 5 holes and another one with 8. Even if the kit is being delivered with the 8-hole rotors, I think those extra holes are for compatibility with...

Thanks for this, it's really helpful!! That EBC kit appears to be an even better option than Reyland (no negatives, better price). That "8 bolt PCD" issue does not seem to be an actual issue, if you look closely at the photos on their site, one disk has 5 holes and the other 8 (in the same...

Only 1.5kg? Per corner I hope :) Essex Sprint kit is 4.5kg (10lbs) lighter per corner, but it's using 299mm rotors. For Essex Endurance kit with 325mm rotors they are claiming half the weight savings vs Sprint kit.

My bad, I thought he was reffering to the k-system kit, which is using the stock rotors and steel for the brackets (hence my comments). I actually considered the Godspeed kit as an option, but as others mentioned, there are too many unknowns with this kit.

@ECG1000 , any idea if the Reyland (Track 330 I assume) kit fits the 17x9 ET35? Essex AP Racing Sprint kit apparently does not... :(

That's not really an upgrade. No weight savings, no increased thermal capacity or braking force, you'll just trade off the safety of the OEM brakes for some slightly better looks (and even that it's subjective). A better option would be the Megane RS callipers on STI rotors (if you can stomach...

For those of you who are using the car on the track, be aware that Foliatec (or any other DIY paint) will burn (turn black) in just a few hot laps (at least with the stock calipers and decent semislicks). Powder coating is the way to go (I managed to burn that too, but in several years).

Anyone knows if the Reyland Track 330 BBK fits either of these wheels? - OEM 18x7.5 ET48 - OZ Alleggerita 18x8 ET48 - Enkei RPF1 17x9 ET35

Here's the sound clip :)

Yes and yes. Front pipe is the only OEM element left, I replaced the headers, over pipe and cat back. GPF is inside the FP, so can't really remove it without replacing the FP altogether.
